What's #51, university of phoneix?

hey, congrats on Yale SOM, which jumped to #25 from unranked last year!

Nice jump by Thunderbird to overtake Wharton, Booth, and MIT. WTF?

lsuguy7 · Answer

Maybe it's the best MBA ranking ever, and all the other ones have been drastically incorrect?

bipolarbear · Answer

Since I don't read spanish I can't really figure out what their rubric is... however after looking at the rankings, they aren't TERRIBLE. I mean it just seems to have shifted a great deal from 08 to 09. It seems like 08 rankings were more on par with USNEWS... with HSW taking the top 3 spots.

A bias towards IE Business school located in Madrid (surprise!) and other Spanish schools but nothing too shocking

89nk · Answer

Nink, just because Yale is 25th doesn't make it the worst...lol Just playing, this list is ridiculous! :lol:

nink · Answer

If this ranking was credible, that means I should have saved $1400 I spent on MGMAT and score GMAT in 600's and apply to Boston University MBA program..... :-D

HBS crowd has no complaints ;-)

P.S. I'm actually in Madrid now and I must tell you that it's the best city ever! I'd actually consider IE just because of the location ;-)

kwam · Answer

Very skewed towards Spanish schools, which does not surprise me.

HBS2011 · Answer

this is pretty shocking - look how low booth is!!

aval · Answer

These rankings make the ones by Forbes seem a lot better!

xenok · Answer

Do not underestimate the loss of Booth's booth! Fear the karma!

bhushangiri · Answer

in case nobody has noticed... this ranking is for global mba... which is very new to most schools and markedly different from the full time day mba program.

AceofSpades · Answer

Wow! This is completely absurd.

Av · Answer

Apparently, Yale isn't that "heavenly." Better luck next year

domtri33 · Answer

Whoa now.....nothing wrong with scoring in the 600s!!

osbornecox · Answer

Good choice of city (it's my hometown), but with an HBS degree, you could plop yourself in Madrid anytime.
